The Griffin is a mythical creature that was believed to be the most powerful animal in the world. With the body, tail, and hind legs of a lion, it was partially imbued with the powers of the King of Beasts. The creature also had the head, wings, and front talons of an eagle, considered the King of the Birds.

King Edward III ruled over Britain for more than 50 years, making him one of the longest reigning monarchs in British history. The Griffin was closely associated with his reign, and even featured on his private seal. Now it is included in the Queen’s Beast Collection of coins.

On the obverse of the 2017 ¼ oz Gold British Queen’s Beast Griffin Coin is the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed in 2015 by Jody Clark, this is the fifth-generation depiction of the Queen used since 1952.

The reverse of all 2017 ¼ oz Gold British Queen’s Beast Griffin Coins includes the design of a griffin standing with its front talons perched atop the seal of Edward III and its wings spread wide above its head. This side includes the engravings of “Griffin of Edward III” and “1 oz Fine Gold 9999 2017.” Jody Clark’s initials of “JC” are also engraved on this face.
